    I shared both of these with a good friend, and we both loved them. I will be getting the review of the Fremont one put in here later. I wrote it on Untapped, but, it's acting up right now. Thanks @Beersnake1 for both. they were a pleasure to share.

    I already have identified the two beers I’m sharing with the NBW group tomorrow selected from the phenomenal box you sent me, specifically the fresh hop Pilsner and the BA impy stout. Can’t wait to dig into those.

    Ok, on to my other blind beer from @Beersnake1

    I will probably be off base again, but guessing a BA Scotch Ale. Whatever it is, it's delicious! Thank you!!!!

    Onyx coffee stout by Ozark Beer Company


    4.21/5 rDev -3.4%
    look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25
    Ranked #1 American Stout #2 beer in Arkansas, new brewery for me . Growler received in Bif16 from @russpowell, poured into an Ozark brewing snifter also from him , thank you!
    [​IMG]
    Dark cola brown liquid , thin taupe foam layer that quickly dissipated to a ring, no lacings

    Aroma is fresh brewed coffee , roasted malts , faint chocolate aroma

    Taste is green , fresh brewed beer . It’s that fresh fresh brewery taste .fresh brewed coffee, no acrid bitterness.

    Thin , light mouthfeel, low sudsing more like a porter than a stout

    Good beer

    Holy cow. I love my big beers, but I'm not a fan of the big formats for them - unless I'm sharing. This size is perfect for this beer. I was fairly close with the style. This is delicious. We do not get their beers locally. I have gotten them in Wisconsin before. Delicious. Posting in NBW shortly.

    Thanks to @kemoarps for this one! Deprived of Light, an imperial stout with cacao, vanilla, and coconut. From Ladd & Lass in Seattle. New beer and new brewery for me!

    Poured from a can at fridge temp. Pours motor oil black (and looks thick as it flows!) with a moderate amount (maybe an inch) of light brown head. The nose is filled with chocolate, marshmallow, vanilla, coconut, a bit of toffee, and some milk. Very nice and smooth!

    The taste is super smooth and tasty. Big notes of dark chocolate, roasted malts, coffee, coconut, vanilla, burnt toffee, bitter oak, leather, a significant earthy note, and a bit of molasses. This differs massively from typical pastry stouts that have vanilla, cacao, and coconut. This is big and roasty, with lots of wood and earthy notes. Some dark fruit starts to emerge as well. Plums, raisins, and a touch of figs.

    The mouthfeel is super thick and viscous. Lovely. Overall, this is a fantastic stout that retains the stout features. Love it! Thanks so much for sending this awesome beer, @kemoarps

    Another fine IPA from Whistle Punk, courtesy of @woemad and one I got to add to the database!
    More words in NBW. Cheers all!

    Another beer from @kemoarps. Guava Dawn from Urban Family Brewing. A sour ale with pink guava.

    Poured from a can at fridge temp. Pours a murky yellow/orange with white head. The nose is guava, papaya, vanilla, peach, and a slight bready note.

    The taste follows the nose. Fairly sweet upfront, with a slight sourness. Tart. Guava, mango, papaya, vanilla, honey, peaches, and a grassy note. It can quite easily be summed up as fruity, tart, and slightly sour. Refreshing.

    The mouthfeel is fairly light and dry. Overall, a nice sour. Glad I got to try this, Kestrel!

    From just upstream of my hometown...but also just a couple miles from the most toxic place in America.:grin:

    Seriously, glad you enjoyed it. That's a beer that sometimes can vary quite a bit from batch to batch, but when it's on it's spectacular.

    I just double-checked, and the Official Share Date is next weekend. Which is good, cuz my work schedule would be having me have issues. I should be able to play more next weekend. Probably squeeze a couple in after work tomorrow.

    Dude, it's kinda rude of you to post a pic of me swimming without asking me if it's okay beforehand.

    Then I got a good batch because I went through that pint in 4 minutes - but then again, my appreciation for Citra/Mosaic/Simcoe-hopped IPA's verges on irrational. I love that flavor profile combination.
